One thing UNI does to overcome their physical disadvantage is the DL uses hard slants that disrupt blocking schemes and essentially creates a mess, this is 7th grade football gimmick stuff. They have also in the past had the DL submarine OL in order to create a mess on the line, once again 7th grade gimmick defense stuff.

I think it begs more to the question of why do they only implore this strategy against ISU. They play normal DL assignments when they play their FCS competition but go to the gimmick defense against ISU.
How much of this at UNI is actually the result of having players like David Johnson who was a lifting beast?
That's false, Apollo was able to change Rocky in a way that Mickey never could. Made him a faster, quicker and more explosive athlete, honestly while being cool and all Mickey and the style he asked Rocky to fight with probably couldn't have overcome Clubber Lang, granted Mickey laying in the lockerroom, forcing Paulie, who didn't know **** about boxing, to be a defacto manager didn't help either.
I stopped reading after your first sentence. NDSU absolutely mauled us.
People are complaining that our linemen are too small? Disagree. Often our linemen look like the guys back in my hometown who spend half their life sitting at the bar.
There are a lot of good strength coaches. Results seemed mixed with this one. Looking forward to a fresh perspective even if it is just a hire from within.
It's called football, just look at this article about Oregon, http://www.si.com/college-football/2014/12/30/oregon-ducks-rose-bowl-injuries. This is before the played in the Rose Bowl and lost a couple of key guys. Also Ohio State is winning the National Championship right now with their 3rd string QB.
We could struggle to fill the position, It is potentially a 1 year job, Clayton Oyster would be smart not to take it if he has a job with Yancy in Houston. We may not be done seeing coaches leave either. Mangino is a potential candidate for a big job
There was a graphic right before the game showing how Oregon was missing six key guys, two with ACLs and another with a knee/hamstring issue. I guess their S&C guy sucks too.
